I don't think I've ever had a chain stretch out. Mine start getting stiff when they go bad, which is a sign that the internal grease is gone. Applying external lube won't fix that.

Uh yeah.... The chain that is currently on there got tightened to spec, ridden 3 days, tightened to spec cause it was loose, ridden a weekend, tightened again, and then parked... I don't think it should stretch that quick, so pretty sure it's done. |

I remember reading that many riders don't lube their chain correctly. They lube the outside roller instead of the inner side plates.
